No worries. Shouldn't be that difficult to get this one back on track; viz the nailing of MH to the door... ;) LOL

I wasn't aware that British military investigators got involved in such things, Phil.

Although, based on recent events, if America tells them to do it, I suppose they would ????

I know many forum member have put their heart and soul into getting behind the scenes, being shown how to cook by BIR chefs. They have been shown how to make mix powder but you can bet it's not the mix powder they would use.

I'm sure you're right and, to a large extent, many people have been duped. H4C may be another victim but perhaps we'll never know.  Why would a good restaurant give away its commercial secrets?

Now I'm having some success, with dhansak primarily, I can start to assess what's been left out of earlier recipes - a few of which have been highly rated by other people - but none of which delivered the type of flavours produced by the best BIRs, when I tried them.

Yes, the mix powder is important but so are a lot of other elements. They all have to be right, in my opinion. I feel the final dish will only be as good as the weakest link.

I edited the text I quoted and made about a dozen changes. Your English is too good for you to make that many mistakes by accident, so I think it must be deliberate, like the messy use of lower and upper case lettering in your user name. Why have lower case H for your second name?

Well clearly, George (as any classics scholar such as your good self should know) because it is spiritus lenis, not spiritus asper, otherwise the verbal pun will just not work ...

Now try not laugh whilst saying "Mike Hunt makes good gravy" :D :D

I couldn't do it!!  Like Frank Zappa Joe's Garage.  "Add water, makes it's own sauce".  I think it was Crew Slut.

Not sure if it's me your thinking of here Ox, but I can assure you all that I am not, nor am I even vaguely familiar with, CA.  I have obviously come across reference to the one known as CA and even read some posts in various places.  It would appear that there is some manner of amusement concerning CA and I am not even sure I know what any of it is about.  Is CA an upside-downer like me?

I don't believe there is a "secret" or many individual "secrets", since the same heady aroma is evident in any if not all IR establishments I have frequented.  It can't be a secret unless you compare it to the likes of KFC or Coca Cola.

Maybe it should be 11.

It can only be a commonly held industry practice that produces such a widespread common result.  However in saying that, this industry practice must be guarded information.
